Feedback:
In alternative lifestyles, people with pets find it soothing and relaxing to stroke and touch an animal that responds affectionately, regardless of a person's age, physical characteristics, or accomplishments. Pets seem to improve a person's feelings of self-worth in a way that extends to human relationships as well. Alternative thinking techniques are those that facilitate a change in a person's perceptions from negative to positive. Alternative behaviors are behavioral techniques for modifying stress, which encourage one to take control rather than become immobilized. Making choices and pursuing actions promote self-confidence over feeling victimized.
